Default Same Old Problem With Dying At Idle

Ok, I changed the rotor, dist. cap, plugs and wires and still the same problem. Has trouble starting, and once it does, it idles really rough. Once i drive it, it dies before I back out of the driveway. Then it takes several starts before it goes again, and dies berofe I'm back in the garage. Obviously still dies at idle. What gives?

Yeah, P0206, Injector Circuit/Open Cylinder 6, and now it won't start at all. Turns over, and wants to start, but just wont.

CPS would be a good guess

Im leaning towards the PCM mine was doing this same thing almost. It did the whole not start and really bad up and down idling i had to stay on the gas to keep it running. I changed my PCM and bam! it was fixed.

Hope it helps Joe

I agree with the crank angle sensor. It's below the distributor. It will give the same issues that you're getting. Other things to check is the ASD relay also. The Cam angle sensor in the distributor is one of the last things I would change because those don't commonly go bad.
Here's how I would go about it....
- ASD relay
- CPS
- PCM
- Cam angle sensor
The CPS also sends the signal for when the plugs spark and when the injectors pulse.
